A conference of state investigators was called by Car roll County Solicitor Preston Smart to discuss the Ruth Eisenberg murder.

The meeting may bolster evidence against Ralph Jennings of Rochester who faces arraignment next Wednesday for murdering a Newark New Jersey school principal’s daughter. A found suitcase in Sanbornville is deemed unrelated and Eisenberg’s body was found two weeks ago in a makeshift Ossipee grave.
